Why are the official uniforms of ancient Korea so similar to those of the Ming Dynasty?

Because in the Ming Dynasty, the whole Korean peninsula where South Korea was located was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, any major decision needed the permission of the Ming government, and the official clothes were close to those of the Ming Dynasty, which was based on the official clothes of the Ming Dynasty. The dresses including the king and queen were also given by the Ming Dynasty. So the official uniforms of ancient Korea are so similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.

Ancient Korea took a materialistic attitude towards China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he paid tribute to the court of China. From Emperor Taizong Li Fangyuan to Emperor Gaozong Li Xi, kings of all dynasties accepted the title of Emperor China. For neighboring countries or tribes such as Japan, we should adopt a policy of being good neighbors.

Basic styles of official uniforms in Ming dynasty;

1, cross collar type

According to the traditional form inherited from the ancient ritual system, it is mostly used in sacrificial clothes, court clothes, Yan clothes and underwear. The short clothes worn by folk workers are also mostly stand-up collar clothes.

2. Collar coat

In order to inherit the T-shirts of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty were mostly high round neck and lacked crotch, and some eunuchs wore wide sleeves or big sleeves on both sides of the clothes. Civilians wear narrow sleeves, but the elderly over 60 can wear large sleeves, and the sleeve length can be appropriately extended to 3 inches at the elbow.

Step 3 girdle skirt

Its form is similar to the plaited coat since the Yuan Dynasty. The Chinese History Museum has a long scroll of Ming Xianzong Opera Music, which was worn by Emperor Xianzong. The jacket is a narrow sleeve with right sleeve, which is folded at the waist.

In addition, eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, such as Li Jian, handprinted, wrote, attended lectures, cleaned up court management signs, served deacons, wore red stickers, pasted books, etc., and some of them even added stripes under their knees as decorations.

Officials such as yamen and Shanling, with young men, are wearing green stickers that are not patched. The style of this sticker is also a robe skirt style, but the waist is not decorated with horizontal lines. The "Cheng Ziyi" unearthed from the tomb of Xu Ming Kui in Nanjing is also of this style.

Step 4 tidy up

In the Ming Dynasty, there were not many men's double-breasted shirts with long sleeves. Half-long-sleeved double-breasted short coat was developed from pigtail sleeve (spiral coat) in Song Dynasty, which was first worn by workers on horseback, and then gradually spread to literati. There is also a sleeveless and collarless jacket (vest). It started in Yuan Dynasty and became a half-length coat for young women in the middle of Ming Dynasty. In the Qing dynasty, it shortened its body and was called vest vest.

In the Ming dynasty, there was another kind of armor that was longer than armor and shorter than coat, that is, the ultra-short sleeves mentioned above. In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a lapel or straight lapel, the length of which was even with the skirt. The lapel was opened under the left and right armpits, and the two sides were not buckled, or the lapel was tied with a rope, which was worn by women casually. The leader is worn by aristocratic women, and the straight lapel is worn by ordinary women.

5, straight collar clothing

According to the famous popular novel Jin Ping Mei in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, the clothes worn by women at that time were described, including double-breasted shirts, jackets, dress-picking skirts and various high-top shoes. In cold weather, they will wear a pair of armor over their shirts, or knee-high pants under their skirts, with their eyebrows wrapped around their foreheads, a fake bun on their heads, hairpins, combs and beads on their heads, and a hairpin on their hands.

6. Oblique collar robe

For example, straight (also called straight, straight), waist-tied and Taoist robes, this style of clothes, with loose body and wide sleeves, is also called waist-tied, with wide sides and two belts in front, which is an ancient household dress. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people in the ruling and opposition parties wore them. It was called straight hook in Ming dynasty. Confucian scholars all wear this kind of clothing. All the students in Juren, Gong Sheng and Guo Jian wear a straight hook with a wide black border around it, so it is also called a blue robe. The robes of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties were of this style.
